9J2 QSL BUREAU ---> Mike, G3TEV (QSL manager for 9J2BO) says that there is no
outgoing QSL Bureau for Zambia. If stations want a card the from Zambia,  the
best way is by the direct route, either to  the QSL manager or direct to  the
station worked,  enclosing a  SAE plus  return  postage. Otherwise  they  are
unlikely to  get a  return card  due to  the high  postal costs  involved  in
sending direct replies to cards received via the bureau.

CLOSING LOGS ---> Jack, VK2XQ  (formerly VK2GJH) informs  that he will  close
the following logs on 1 October 2004:
3D2JH  Fiji              27 June - 3 August 1997
C21JH  Nauru             16 August - 4 September 1998
C21JH  Nauru             28 June 1999 - 17 December 2000
T30JH  Western Kiribati  21 February 1998 - 25 September 2000
T33JH  Banaba            20-26 July 1997
QSL direct only to Jack D. Haden, P.O. Box 299, Ryde, NSW 1680, Australia.

QSL 5B4AHJ ---> Cards can either go via the  5B bureau or to Alan Jubb,  P.O.
Box 61430, 8134 Kato Pafos, Cyprus.  Please note that currently mail sent  to
Alan's old address in the UK  is being forwarded to him  in Cyprus, but  that
will stop in a few weeks' time. [TNX 5B4AHJ]

QSL FY5FU ---> The QSL route is via  F5JFU, direct or bureau. From July  1999
to July 2002 (including operations from SA-020) the operator was Pierre/F5JFU
and the  QSL  manager  was  F5PAC;  on  July  2002  Pierre  resumed  the  QSL
management. The  callsign  was  reissued  in  late  2003:  the  operators  is
Thierry-Pierre/F5REB and - in order to  avoid confusion - F5JFU has  accepted
to act as his QSL manager. [TNX F5NQL]

QSL HK1XX ---> This is the new call of Pedro Claver Orozco (formerly HK1HHX).
His QSL route is via EA7FTR. [TNX HK1XX]

QSL VP8NO --->  Please note  that Geoff  Dover, G4AFJ  is no  longer the  QSL
manager for Mike,  who now handles  his own  QSLs. Geoff  reports that  cards
should be sen to Mike Harris,  P.O. Box 226, Port Stanley, Falkland  Islands,
South Atlantic.
